As the footage continues to come in from Jan 6 and the storm on the capital, I’ve found myself having to face head on my emotional responses. Watching the violence, the actions that are clearly motivated by hate and anger, it is hard not to respond with my own feelings of anger and, let’s be honest, intense judgement. Is this anger and judgement justified? It certainly feels like it. The more important question is rather: is this how I want to interact with the world? From a place of anger? Is my anger and judgement ultimately going to serve myself, my family, and my community in the way that I want to? I reflect on this as well as Inauguration Day and what it means to me.

Can you be courageous without being vulnerable? For the longest time, I too believed that courage meant that you felt no fear. I also believed that expressing your emotions and what makes you feel anxious or scared, was a sign of weakness. Tough girls don't show emotion, or perhaps don't even have emotion to show.  Because I have big emotions, big reactions to things that others barely bat an eyelid to, there is something weak and flawed about me. But here's the truth - can you even be courageous without first feeling scared, exposed, anxious? Put the other way, if you feel no fear, uncertainty, or social exposure, does it take courage?

In this episode I explore the idea that courage cannot exist without first feeling vulnerable. I also look at what vulnerability actually means, and what a life without fear would look like.

Spend some time experiencing your joy; basking in the light, glow, and warmth of how your body experiences the joy you feel. It is easy to feel the fullness of joy when the moment is big and clear, but what about the small moments of joy in between? What joy are we missing in our day to day lives because we are naturally absorbed and distracted by our lives? By practicing and giving space to how joy shows up in our bodies, we give ourselves the opportunity to learn how to notice the small moments when they happen; the ones we may have missed before. And here's the real beauty of it...it is these small moments that are the real clues to what truly and authentically matters to us in our lives. Pause, experience, allow in.

In this episode, I outline the process of setting an intention for your new year. Resolutions set us up to fail, but by setting an intention you can only learn, grow, and succeed. After defining what an intention is, we work through a series of meditations, journaling prompts, and small rituals that will help you to say goodbye to 2020, release what you need to release, and find your guiding principle, your intention, for 2021.

I get very emotional today. I can't help it. This week has been filled with an internal struggle between the joy of the holidays and the grief over the reality around me. I share why I am feeling so much sadness at the moment, how important this sadness is to feel, and why I am grateful for it. Just a warning, I do tear up a bit, but please don't see that as a reason to avoid listening. Trust me, the world needs you to feel your sadness.

What you bring to this world, no one else can bring. The value that you add to others' lives, no one else can add. You have a light that deserves to shine brightly. The world deserves to see your light. So shine, amazing human, shine.

Every breath is a cycle, just as every life and year is a cycle. As you explore the cycles of your breath, especially the bottom of your exhale - your winter - ask yourself, "what season of life am I in?" With the silence of winter, the emptiness after your exhale, lies the magic of possibility. Trust that the air is coming.
